I rise today in order to call to the attention of our colleagues the birthday of an outstanding American and a resident of the town of Goshen in Orange County. NY. Mr. Lawvrence Meinwald. On June 18. 1997. Mr. Meinwald will be celebrating his 83d birthday. Mr. Meinwald was an immigrant from Warsaw. Poland. who came to the United States in 1920. when he was just a young boy. Mr. Meinwald spent 10 days on Ellis Island. being forced to remain there until our Government decided if the young immigrant should be permitted to stay. Luckily for him and for us. they allowed Mr. Meinwald permanent entry into the United States. where he has remained ever since.
